Kids, ask not for whom the school bell tolls . . . it tolls for you. And the teacher, and mom and dad, and the seller of blue jeans and the manufacturer of spiral notebooks.

As temperatures nudge toward pleasant and people paste the final vacation snapshots into their albums, schools, businesses and organizations gear up for September and the beginning of the unofficial new year.

Storytime for 2- to 6-year-olds, designed to excite young children about books and reading, begins at the Severna Park library Sept. 22.

Two-year-olds will meet at 9:30 a.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. Ages 3 to 6 will meet at 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays and 10:30 a.m. Thursdays.

An evening Storytime for ages 2 to 6 will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesdays.

Parents or care-givers are asked to stay with 2- and 3-year-olds. Information: 222-6290.

The Career Development Center at Anne Arundel Community College believes the future is now. Counselors offer free help to students and the public with their resume-writing and job-interview techniques.

The center also maintains a resume book regularly scanned by potential employers. Job hunters search the long list of current job openings on file.

If you're looking for your first job or re-entering the job market, begin your search with AACC's free career services. Information: 541-2202.

A gift of $2,000 has been presented by the York Children'Foundation to the Hospice of the Chesapeake's Camp Nabe.

The non-profit, Houston-based foundation supports children's organizations throughout the United States.

In its second year at Arlington Echo Outdoor Educational Center, Camp Nabe provides a free, three-day weekend of trained counseling for children ages 6 to 14 who are grieving the death of a loved one. Fifty-four youngsters attended this year's camp Aug. 20-22.
